1290. ME. T. W. SWALES (Jnp.) — Large, very distinct and striking in colour, rich chestnut- 
rcd striped with bronzy yellow; a well-built flower ; fine exhibition variety. Plants in Spring, 5,s. 
1297. ME. W. H. GRENFELL (.lap. Inc.) — A magnificent flower, with extra broad petals of 
firm texture, rather closely incurving ; colour soft rosy-pink ; a distinct novelty. Height, 4 to 6 ft. 
Late crown bud. Plants, 5.«. 
1298. MRS. A. CROSS (.lap.)— Very large, with long broad incurving florets of great 
substance ; the colour is rich yellow, with reverse yellow striped red ; medium height. Crown bud. 
Good exhibition variety. Plants in Spring, 6s. 
1299. MRS. ARTHUR GOODRICH (Jap.)— Of immense proportions ; broad petals, slightly 
notched, incurving at the tip ; colour bright rose, silver reverse ; fine exhibition flower. Crown 
bud. Plants in Spring, 6s. 
1299a. MRS. CHARLES BIRCH— A large, massive bloom, quite distinct from any other ; florets, 
which are of great substance, curl and twist into a flower of great depth and solidity. Very pure 
white, occasionally lln.shed at base with lavender. F.C.C., N.C.S. Good culture; stop in April. 
Second crown bud. I’lants, 7s. Oil. 
1300. MRS. E. BEUTTNER (.Tap.) — Primrose yellow ; very fine. 2s. C>d. 
1301. MRS. HENRY TOLER (Jap.)— Flesh pink, slightly hairy. Is. lid. 
1302. MRS. H. GARRAT CUMINES (Jap.)— Large, of the Duchess of Devonshire typo; 
outside rows of petals quilled, but open at the tips ; centre filled with petals of medium width ; colour 
pretty shade of deep rose, with silver reverse. Crown bud. Plants in Spring, 6s. 
1303. MRS. G. A. HAINES (Jap.) — Reddish golden bronze and orange. The flowers are 
6 inches across and nearly the same in depth. I shall not mislead exhibitors by pressing it as a 
largo exhibition flower, but as a bush or decorative variety it is simply superb. The glorious colour 
is charming ; the flowers are borne on stiff, erect stems, and lust longer than any I know. The 
height of the plant altogether, when second crowns are secured, is under 4 ft. I would not be 
surprised to find this on the front row' of many grand exhibits, for it will entirely eclipse 
Col. IV. B. Smith. 5s. 
1303a. MRS. J. DARLEY (Burt). — Incurved Japanese of a beautiful shade of primrose or pale 
golden yellow ; the florets are not so long as now looked for, but the build of the flower is splendid, 
and it is one of those varieties that looks well on the board. 1 can much recommend this, as I think 
it will be a good constant variety. 5s, 
1.304. MRS. J. PEABODY (Jap.) — Pure white, of the largest size. 2s. each. 
1306. MRS. J. RITSON (While IVaiancf il/o>v/) —At last we have obtained the long looked-for 
While Viciand ^[oreL This sport was obtained two years ago, but I hesitated to introduce it until I 
was positively certain that the sport was fixed. The well-known judges, Mr. E. Molyneux and 
Mr. W. Mease, awarded this variety the Scottish Horticultural Association’s Silver Medal for the 
best new Chrysanthemum not in commerce at their great show at Edinhiirgh, November, 1897. 
After this valuable testimony to its merits no further comment is needed. I’lauts in Spring, 7s. tid. 
1306. MRS. J. W. BARKS — Rosy-brou'ze sport from Kdith Tabor. The inside of the florets 
is the colour of Charles Davis, the reverse is shaded buff ; in other respects it is the same as the 
parent. 10s. (id. 
1307. MRS. L. HUMPHREY (Jap.) — Very large spreading variety, with florets of immense 
length, notched at the tips ; colour soft sliade of primrose ; medium height ; good habit. Comes 
good from any bud. Pronounced by all who have seen it to bo a variety of great promise for 
exhibition purposes. Plants in Spring, 6s. 
1308. MRS. M. T. ATHERTON (Jap.) — White, of broad long petals. 2s. 
1309. MRS. PHILLIP MANN (Jap.)— A fixed sport from the well-known variety Charles 
Davis, this being third year of trial ; the colour is rosy-bronze, distinctly striped and suffused yellow 
shading to pure golden yellow in centre ; quite a distinct and lovely colour, and a valuable acquisi- 
tion in every way ; same treatment as parent. Plants, 7s. (id. Stock limited. 
1310. MRS. R. D. DOUGLAS (Jap.) — Very large; golden yellow'. 2s. 6d. 
1811. MRS. ROWLAND STAGG (Jap.) —Large, novel flow'er with long petals ; lower petals 
pink, tipped white, with greenish-white centre ; easy grower. Crown bud. Plants in Spring, 6s. 
1311a. MRS. J. R. TRANTER (Jap.) — Large flower, of grand symmetry, with long florets 
pinkish lilac at base, w'ilh distinct stripe, paler centre, shading to w'hite with age ; splendid 
habit; second crown bud. F.C.C., N.C.S. Plants in Spring, 7s. 6</. 
1312. MRS. W. MEASE, the Sulphur Madame Carnot — This is a sport from the well-known 
variety Madame Carnot, which sported with Mr. W. Mease, and is thoroughly distinct from the 
yellow sport, G. J. Warren. The colour is a lovely and delicate tint of pure sulphur, without any 
shading whatever ; in form it is the exact counterpart of its parent, which it will undoubtedly rival 
in popularity and usefulness. This variety was shown by Mr. W. Mease in his grand winning stand 
of forty -eight blooms in the Open Class of the National Chrysanthemum Society’s Great Show, held
